<smug>Never noticed.</smug> I ditched Micro$oft Word ages ago in favour of OpenOffice, and now LibreOffice (though I do tend to save files in .doc format, to be fair), and I've never used Outlook. Contrary to Micro$oft's vision of itself, it is not key to the world. We can do without - and if they ever carry out that mad plan to make Windows a subscription deal, we will.

As it is, I still have my spare laptop running Windows 10 - it complains occasionally about antivirus updating and that it can't update Chrome.

Well, of course it can't. It has never been online, and never will be.

Its chances of picking up a virus are the same as Trump getting a clue. Meteorite strikes or the National Lottery are more likely.
